What is my grey doing? with pic

Can someone help me figure out what my grey is doing? She is my first grey and has been home with me for almost a week.

She is already very attached to me and today she did the weirdest thing which I have never seen before. She was hanging out on my computer while I was trying to do some things (always in the way) and she started playing and nibbling on my finger very nicely and then after that she spread her wings, but still had them folded and continued to nibble and play with her wings out like that.

Here are a few pics that I managed to get - luckily the camera was right next to me.










Does anyone know what she is doing or if it means anything?

Thanks guys - I wasn't quite sure what she was doing as I haven't seen her do it before. Since this picture she had a bowl of veggies and another bowl of fruits. Yummy!!! I also made her some rice and pasta that we are going to try for the first time tomorrow.

She had a large varity and seemed like like it all - her veggie bowl had, carrots, corn, peas, green beans, and lima beans which she had only ever been carrots before from the breeder. She ate some of everything, but likes the carrots the most. Her fruit bowl had, apple, grapes, strawberry, and banana - which she had only ever been given apple from the breeder out of these fruits before. She loves her apple, seemed to enjoy the banana, and also had some strawberry and grapes.

Yummy!!! She is sure enjoying her fruits and veggies though!!!

Ha! That is so cute! Begging for food would have been my guess. I was right! Woo hoo!

thats cute, Just watch with the grapes where they come from. grapes from chilie often have a ceratin type of mold on them. not harmful to us but can be very dangerous to a bird.
